| Potential Effects on the Environment of WNP | Waihi North Project Air Discharge Assessment - Waihi Surface Facilities | 4396626-1331619777-99 | 16/06/2022 | 65 The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, respirable silica, NO2, NO and CO are not expected to exceed the current and proposed NESAQ guideline values and current consent limits beyond the boundary of the mine. The results of dispersion modelling show that emissions of mercury and other trace metal from the Processing Plant would not exceed relevant air quality guideline concentrations limits. The results indicate the discharges of contaminant are unlikely to adverse health effects. Overall, providing OGNZL continues to use the current mine dust mitigation measures (refer to Section 3) and implements the recommended additional mitigation measures and monitoring described in Section 8, and installs additional mercury emission control equipment the risk of discharges to air creating adverse effects that are noxious, dangerous, offensive or objectionable beyond the boundary of the mine is considered to be low.
